Description
How a well digger's accidental Herculaneum find exposed a Roman city frozen in time.
Prince d'Elbeuf began tunneling into the site in 1709, but it was architect Carlo Weber whose methodical mapping finally documented the layout of these buried ruins. We trace how this early archaeological discovery changed our view of the site, despite the risks posed by tunnel digging.
